Same in Germany. To call yourself Right in Germany is, well, we had a very right wing government and we swore "never again".

So the conservatives are center, the liberals are center, the social Democrats aren't really left anymore and self identify as center and the same is with the green party. There is one party called The Left and they obviously identify as left but can't agree on what that means. And the far right party (AfD) calls themselves Conservative.
